2021 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Path to the Podium Carlos Sainz Gold Wave #PTP-CS value & prices

The 2021 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Path to the Podium Carlos Sainz Gold Wave #PTP-CS is a Racing card (Gold Wave parallel) released in 2021. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $19.99.

An ungraded copy is worth around $19.99, a PSA 9 around $28.94, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $99.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $130.00. That's roughly a 5.0× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $19.99 and top grades reaching $99.99, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
